VERDICT

Whether you're blowing up asteroids or negotiating a new advertising contract, Everybody Hates NASA remains quirky from the outset and keeps it rolling until the end; an odd delight to enjoy.

Sometimes you have to wonder if you get what you deserve when you make a wish and it's eventually answered. I often wish for developers to try their hands at something whacky and out of the ordinary, if only to give me something interesting to review. Everybody Hates NASA by Inert Soap could certainly be defined as 'whacky' and 'out of the ordinary' and while it's not a perfect game, the way in which it seems to be able to mash seemingly disparate elements together is impressive.

At its core the gameplay revolves around defending a planetoid from asteroids, preventing your astronaut from being crushed while fulfilling objectives being thrown at you by insane scientists. Each planetoid is split in to quadrants that can be designated as a resource generating quadrant or as a weapon to defend from incoming objects. Defensive structures can also be built over these quadrants, often providing a surface that can bounce debris away before blowing it up. Managing these quadrants isn't too difficult once things are set up, but if you allow the debris to get out of hand you'll have no time to deploy new defensive structures, ultimately leading to a restart of the level itself.

When you're not planting billboards on planetoids or defending oil derricks with beach balls, you can spend crystals collected on each level on upgrading your offensive and defensive items. Additional side-quests are also made available by completing levels and prior quests, rewarding players with more experience to upgrade their items.

Everybody Hates NASA isn't without its flaws, especially when attempting to defend a planetoid for the first time as it's easy to get overwhelmed by the incoming asteroids (or aliens) without knowing how many defenses you'll require. It's not a perfect game, but despite so many elements feeling out of place it all comes together in a way that's enjoyable. Worth checking out if you're feeling adventurous.

Earth space agencies may be on a shoestring budget, but that can't stop us from exploring the stars! Or, maybe not stars, but at least planets. Okay, not planets, just asteroids. Whether it's Congress or aliens, it seems today that EVERYBODY HATES NASA!

From the makers of Fingerzilla comes a hilarious action adventure about today's state of the Space Race. This completely unauthorized parody will have you laughing out loud as you fight to overcome the trials and tribulations of being a modern day astronaut.

Defend the dignity of Earth in this combination of 1970s Asteroids with modern base defending game. Establish outposts throughout the galaxy as you encounter alien hicks, space pigs, laser-armed fish, more space pigs, flying cabbages, and even a little pig poop!

Start out with simple weapons, then use the tech tree to outfit your stations with flak guns, cannons, guided missiles, lasers, and more. Dozens of weapons, shields, and other resources become available as you advance through the game.

Featuring an enchanting musical soundtrack, ridiculous sound effects, and hundreds of lines of spoken conversations, be prepared for roughly an hour of unique audio. Or make sure you know where your mute button is!

See if you have what it takes to defend Earth's reputation among the stars as you travel through a variety of settings. Have ideas you'd like to share with us? We're constantly adding new levels, so write to us at [email protected] if you'd like something added or changed!
